Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The Omaheke Police have warned residents against circulating claims on social media of people reportedly harvesting private parts in the region.<\/p>\n

Regional Unit Commander for Community Affairs Fina Sakayengenga at a media conference on Tuesday said residents and anyone responsible for spreading false information should stop, as this has caused havoc and confusion among residents in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is information circulating in the region about private parts that had been cut off and are being used for ritual purposes. I want to tell you that this information is fake \u2013 there is nothing as such happening in our region,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n

This information, Sakayengenga said, is linked by the public to an incident of attempted murder that happened in Aminuis recently.<\/p>\n

The attempted murder is an incident on its own and cannot be linked to the fake information circulating on social media, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect in the attempted murder case has been arrested and is currently behind bars in Leonardville. He did not get bail yet, and I can also not confirm his next court appearance. However, I can confirm and reiterate that all the information circulating is fake,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
